I don't see Nigeria going any where...A region wanted to secede but the federal govt prevented them and there was a war...I begin to wonder when request to secede became a crime. Now, they posted something for their own memory and some people are here fighting them and I am sure those fighting them are from south too. This is why North we always rule this country. What I don't understand is why Yoruba and Igbo people hate one another so much. You guys don't like easterners and you still don't want them to secede and you laugh over their move to secede. I cry for this country. Why are we like this? You hate something and you don't want it to leave you. What wrong did Igbo people do ? That they wanted to secede from a marriage they think wouldn't favour them? Are they the only region to have done that in this world?
And to hold a federal government sponsored troop for 3 years is not a small achievement. Hunger policy was initiated to make the war difficult for them. Now, we are united right? But what have we achieved so far? After many years of unity, we still import paper! Can't we just think or we just want to exhibit hatred? What have we gained fighting one another all in the name of tribalism? If we cant work, we separate, it's that simple. I can assure you guys that the people benefiting from this unity are our politicians. This country is backward because we agreed to live in fake unity. I love a united country but it should be based on mutual agreement and true love. I just don't understand all these. We hate one another and yet we laugh at those who wanted to secede, is that not an irony? If other regions had this zeal exhibited by easterners back then, I think this country would have gone far in terms of development. A region can be technically better than other regions, it's not a crime. If those guys could manufacture some things to help fight the war for more than 2 years, no matter how useless you think the equipment were, we should appreciate their efforts. This means that if they good environment and nurtured that same creativity, by now, they would have been manufacturing more sophisticated equipments. You laugh at Aba made products, it's simply because you wear the uniform of tribalism, because I don't see any reason for that. Aba guys make things out of nothing, they create things outside government supports. Think about it what they could have achieved if they had enabling environment.
If we want to live together, we should truly love one another, we hate ourselves, South Africans hate us, white people hate us, Indians hate us, Arabs hate us, Asians hate us, even our brothers in African hate us not to talk of North Africans...this is why we are still like this! We hate one another and others hate us. We have so much but we lack almost everything. Our politicians continue to take advantage of this fault...this fake unity! I am not agitating for break up but we shouldn't condemn those who had the courage to make the first move. A lot would have been corrected back in 1960s, no wonder an Idian man told his friend that nothing can be brought from Nigeria to India and that we import everything. We know all these yet, we attack our selves, abusing people who saw that this marriage won't work far back in 1960. WTF!!...
Well, this post will still not make sense to a lot of us because we hide in the uniform of tribalism. We are here fighting one another, while politicians and their children are busy living large. I don't see anything wrong with Igbo people celebrating their forefathers...If this unity had produced development and success, then, we can all laugh at them but the unity didn't produce any development, it's not a success. NYSC was even initiated to enhance unity, now, how many youths want to serve in other regions especially in the north? Can't we think? Cant we think? This country can not make any reasonable development because of tribalism, NEVER! Recently, UK govt carried out a true referendum to know if Scottish citizens wanted to secede from UK govt and it was done mutually and no condemnation. Why is Nigeria's own by fire by force? How many years of marriage with nothing to show for it? Logically, the people that are meant to be laughing are easterners. Do you know why? It's because the so called unity has not achieved anything for this country after decades of forced marriage. Before you start attacking me, ask your self if what I am lying! Your conscience will surely tell you the truth but you will still attack me because you hate truth. Since the marriage must hold, we should try and show love to one another, southerners should stop envying one another...there is no gain in hatred. If we should hate one another so much, we should break up then.
